WISDOM’S CALL by Dr.James Maynor

“To know wisdom” Proverbs 1:2

SOLOMON

First Kings 4:31 says that King Solomon of Israel was “Wiser than all men.” That is quite a remarkable claim to be made of anyone. But in his day, it was readily accepted by all who knew him. The Queen of Sheba traveled a great distance to meet him and agreed that his reputed wisdom was a reality (I Kings 10:1-8). Scripture details his decision when the two women claiming the same baby came before him as additional proof (I Kings 3:16-27). And it is hard to argue the wisdom he exhibited on that day.

WISDOM’S VALUE

It’s not surprising that Solomon placed a lot of value on wisdom. When God offered to grant any request of his, he asked for, “An understanding heart to judge thy people” (I Kings 3:9). That was certainly a cry for wisdom. He also said, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7). Solomon believed pursuing wisdom was a worthwhile venture.

PROVERBS

Solomon also had a lot of wisdom he desired to share. First Kings 4:32 says he produced 3,000 proverbs which are short wisdom dispensing declarations. The Book of Proverbs includes many of these sayings.

THE CASE FOR WISDOM

Take, for example, Proverbs Chapter One. In it, Solomon makes his case for the value and pursuit of wisdom by extolling wisdom’s:

Blessings – Understanding, instruction about justice, judgment, and equity among others – Proverbs 1:1-4
Most important lesson, “The fear of the Lord” – Proverbs 1:7
Foundation –
Listen to your parents – Proverbs 1:8-9
Don’t listen to sinners who entice – Proverbs 1:10-19

WISDOM’S CRY

Proverbs One ends with Solomon urging attention to wisdom’s cry to receive all its benefits (Proverbs 1:20-23, 33). He ends the chapter with a warning about the end of those who do not (Proverbs 1:23-31). It is not an outcome any would desire. So hear wisdom. Hear the Word of the Lord. Get understanding, and you will, “Dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33).
